Overview
This 5-year term deposit pays 4.95% p.a., with interest paid quarterly. You can invest from $5,000 up to $100,000. As an Australian authorised deposit-taking institution, deposits are covered by the Government's Financial Claims Scheme up to $250,000 per person.
Who it suits
Savers who can set aside a lump sum for the full 5-year and want a guaranteed, fixed return.
Things to check
Your money is locked for the term; breaking early generally requires notice and reduces the interest you earn, and a fixed rate means you won't benefit if rates rise.
